Monday's afternoon update by the NWS on Tuesday's storm keeps the Easton area predominantly rainy beginning late Tuesday afternoon and lasting til Wednesday morning. As precipitation increases in intensity Tuesday evening, we may see a mix of rain and snow, and a changeover to sleet. It is possible that we see accumulations, but mainly on grassy or non-treated areas. The valley cities could see up to an inch, and areas of northern Northampton and Warren counties may see as much as 2-3 slushy inches, mainly in higher elevations. Rainfall amounts are still expected to be in the one inch range, which could cause some poor drainage flooding and rises in local creeks and streams. Rain could be heavy at times late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. The Delaware and Lehigh rivers may also rise, but should stay well below flood stage.
